Organizing Institution: Institute for Molecular Science (IMS) Representative: Dr. Iwao Ohmine (Director-general, IMS) Coordinator: Prof. Hidehiro Sakurai (IMS) Sponsorship: JSPS (Japan Society of the Promotion of Science) Sponsored Program: [JENESYS Programme 2011] JSPS Invitation Program for East Asian Young Researchers http://www.jsps.go.jp/english/e-eayouth/ Background At the Second East Asia Summit (EAS), held in January 2007, Mr. Shinzo Abe, Prime Minister of Japan, announced a plan to implement a ¥35-billion youth exchange program, inviting about 6,000 young people to Japan mainly from the EAS member states every year for the next five years. Based on this plan, the Government of Japan has launched the Japan-East Asia Network of Exchange for Students and Youths (JENESYS) Programme, under which it is conducting a variety of exchange activities. As a part of the JENESYS Programme, the Japan Society for the Promotion of Science (JSPS) has launched the "Exchange (Invitation) Program for East Asian Young Researchers." Aimed at promoting researcher exchanges with East Asian countries, this program supports initiatives by Japanese universities and research institutions to invite young researchers (e.g., master's and doctoral students and postdoctoral researchers) from those countries. Purpose By supporting exchange programs implemented by Japanese universities and research institutions, the "Exchange Program for East Asian Young Researchers" works to establish and expand networks with researchers mainly from Asian countries. It also helps to develop high-caliber human resources and to create a regional science and technology community. Institute for Molecular Science (IMS) is a center of the basic research of physical/chemistry fields in Japan and has a role for the center of both domestic and international collaboration. From 2008, IMS has organized the JENESYS program for chemistry/physics fields. IMS provides the opportunity for young researchers from Asian countries to stay in the laboratories related to the basic research for environmental and energy problem for 14-90 days. Through the experience, we encourage them to continue the basic research in their own countries as well as to build up the future collaboration. JENESYS General Meeting and Mini-Symposium JENESYS general meeting and mini-symposium will be held on October 11, 2011. All participants are strongly recommended to attend the meeting. |
